Please no.
Reasons why it makes sense:
they have two first round picks
Reasons why it doesn't make sense:
T.J.
team is old and aging across the board.
new coach trying to bring in new players for system.
obvious marshall issues.
bottom line:
who knows...
Good, have him tear apart their locker room
Pete "Ra-Ra" Carroll trying to keep Brandon "wheres my rattle?" Marshall in check..good luck to them trying to make that work out.

Brandon Marshall expected to be in Seattle on Saturday to visit the Seahawks and see if they can hammer out an offer sheet.
If the Seahawks are able to sign Marshall and Denver does not match, they would have to give up a first round pick. I'm not certain if the rules dictate which one they'd have to give up (their pick, #6, or the one obtained through a trade, #14).
Even if its the #14 pick, I'd question whether Seattle would be getting the better end of the deal. Seattle needs an OT, RB, QB (at least for long term), and pass rusher. Instead, they'd get a talented, but pricey, WR with conduct issues.
yeah they really have much more important things to spend a first round pick on tbh
According to Demoff in his chat the other day, it would be the #6 pick:
"To give an offer sheet to an RFA, you must offer the exact compensation specified by their tender level. Furthermore, you have to be able to give your original pick in that round, you can't offer up a pick you acquired somehow. So we can't offer Philadelphia's 5th round pick in an offer sheet for a player tendered as a 5th, we have to offer the Rams' 5th round pick."
While it would be scary to see a player of that potential go to a division rival, it could be the lesser of two evils in this instance for all the reasons offered in the above posts & could be a Trojan horse for the Carroll regime.
I'm a lot more nervous about The Hags getting a new OT AND a QB from the first round which, as you point out, is quite possible.
As long as we improve our team and as long as were ready for this next upcoming season, who cares what they do.
Ouch this would really hurt, I'm a huge BM supporter, Fitz and Marshall in the same division? Yikes!
Yeah, with Fitz & Boldin and the possibility of Housh & Marshall; scary times for the Rams secondary. I also read that the Seachickens were talking with Benjamin Watson, so there's that to consider.
